Hi all,
I bought my house 6yrs ago. It was built in MI in the 1970s. I have (what I assume was) a roughed in bathroom in the basement with a toilet well, 2" stub coming out of the ground and a branch from a stack for a 1.5" for what I assume was a sink.
I've decided to look into making this a full bath, including a bath tub. My first thoughts going through this forum is that:
a. Why does it seem like all "roughed in" bathrooms don't have vent provisions?
b. I think I have too many fixtures unvented on this stack
Attached is what currently exists in my house and what I believe will resolve the venting issue. I believe it would be acceptable to have two wet vents--one for my kitchen sink and bathroom sink off my laundry basin, and another off my bathtub for my toilet. Any feedback would be appreciated. I'll be looking at what it takes to install a tub, but my first thoughts are on if I need to run another vent down to the basement (the obvious answer seems yes, I'm just concerned where makes the most sense). I've already resided to the fact that this project is probably going to require busting up the concrete to replace bad preliminary work.
